We need them to do, and that is to cooperate with us on the international war on terrorism and not to join on the other side.

So Egypt is moving in a worrying direction, and I think it is important to really make a statement now about what kind of behavior we will want to tolerate.

As a general rule when it comes to foreign assistance to nations, I tend to rely on the political wisdom of my favorite philosopher, my mother.

I hope our witnesses here today can help us understand the current trajectory in Egypt and help guide U.S. policy.

A refusal by the Government of Egypt to...will necessitate a reconsideration of U.S. assistance to Egypt.

Iran's presence in the Western Hemisphere is totally lacking in legitimate economic or political interest.

Iran's partnership with Venezuela, as well as its ties to Cuba, Nicaragua, and Ecuador, are rightfully of concern.

A nation that is the world's principal state sponsor of terrorism... can't be accepted as a legitimate participant in this hemisphere's affairs.

We are opposed to their dreams of hegemony in the Arabian Gulf and throughout the Middle East.

The tyranny will end, and their system will join the Soviet communism on the ash heap of history.

Tehran, it scarcely needs to be said, is up to no good.

The Assad gang's rule, which has been characterized at home by unparalleled brutality and endemic corruption, and abroad by support for Iranian hegemony, the subversion of Lebanon's independence, state support for terrorism against Israel…

Clearly, the people of Syria have embraced their fundamental right to determine not only who will govern Syria, but the form of government as well.

I think you are to be congratulated, not criticized, for the fact that your market share is expanding, or, as some people have said, exploding.

Why are we still selling and marketing to people who have no credit and bad credit?

And you would be very, very happy to have a smaller market share and remain stable and ready to fill that breach again once the problem has been resolved within the housing market?

And you have no problem with your market share shrinking? You don't take it personally?

What can you be doing to protect these veterans coming home?

Iraq, and stability in Iraq and security in Iraq is very much in the U.S. national security interest.

Give me some hope. Make up a year.
